Abraham
     n : the first of the Old Testament patriarchs and the father of
         Isaac; according to Genesis, God promised to give
         Abraham's family (the Hebrews) the land of Canaan (the
         Promised Land); God tested Abraham by asking him to
         sacrifice his son; "Judaism, Christianity, and Islam each
         has a special claim on Abraham" [syn: {Ibrahim}]
